About 127 Media, Southport's Specialist in Hosting, Web, Cloud & IT Solutions
127 Media was founded in 2014 with a clear mission: to provide UK SMEs with the robust and reliable digital infrastructure they need to succeed.
We are a specialist provider of hosting, web, cloud, and IT solutions, building the secure, high-performance foundations that businesses depend on.
Our approach is rooted in 30 years of deep IT expertise, ensuring every solution we deliver is technically sound, secure, and built for the future.
Our History
Founded in 2014 by Gary Sargent, a technology industry veteran with 30 years of experience, 127 Media was born from a desire to help businesses navigate the digital world. The company’s name has a personal origin, inspired by Gary’s 127-mile charity walk along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, which sparked the initial business idea.
While we began with digital marketing, we quickly saw that our clients’ success depended on more than just a great website; it required a secure, high-performance foundation. This realisation drove our evolution into a specialist provider of Hosting, Web, Cloud and IT solutions, where we apply our deep technical expertise to the entire digital infrastructure that supports a business.
“Technology never stands still, and neither do we. Staying curious about what’s next, separating genuine progress from passing trends, and evolving our services so our clients benefit from the best of it, is at the heart of what we do.”

Our Commitment
127 Media operates on the principle that the businesses we work with deserve straightforward advice, reliable infrastructure, and a partner they can trust long term.
What drives us is a genuine interest in technology and the difference it can make when applied thoughtfully. Every platform we design, every server we manage, and every piece of advice we give reflects a belief that good technology should feel invisible to the people using it.
We take pride in building systems that simply work, so our clients can focus on running their businesses rather than worrying about the infrastructure behind them.
